LISA: The Downcast (LISA Fangame)



A game my best friend and I started mid-late 2021 after I got him to play through the original LISA trilogy, which then lead us to play fangames like Hopeful and Timeless.
He's been doing most of the graphics, balancing and map set-ups based on my much simpler ideas. I've been doing animation, eventing, writing etc. - it was part of the reason FriendShapes took longer, as I'd overworked on it and ended up needing 8 months away from it.

It's pretty close to being done in so far as being a demo, just gotta do the last stretch of it then we can get friends to test it then make it public!

Will we actually finish the game entirely?
I wrote the script for the entire thing pretty much years ago, just we have our own things to do... so we'll just have to see how we feel and how it's received

Game Description:

A fan game based on LISA: The Painful, by Dingaling Productions, out in the far west of Olathe away from the main action going on in the original games.

General Setting

LISA: The Downcast follows 4 drug runners, Jackie, Elijah, Slam Jackson and Matías. who work at the bottom of a long chain of suppliers, who receive not only Joy, but other drugs, like Glee to name just one, all from sources unknown to sell to anyone looking to buy.
Little do they know about the consequences that they've made for themselves and west Olathe with doing what they need to to make ends meet.

Cruisin

Almost out of drugs, the run almost done, Slam Jackson, the retired stuntman, decided to do a little bit of off roading and, well, it's going to be a long walk back now.

This run has been different. Elijah, the leader of their little group and something of a mentor, has had Jackie take the reigns a little to see if they can handle the responsibilities.

Jackie was the only choice as Slam isn't interested and the last of their number and resident brawler, Matías, flat-out refuses to make large decisions, preferring to lounge in the back making sardonic comments and occasionally throwing furniture at people that look like they need it.
